Mishimoto FMIC?

Anyone know whats up with this brand? I think their design is interesting but have never heard of them before.

Well that's new...I've not seen an aftermarket BMW intercooler shaped like that before.

They are a popular vendor for Hondas and Subies. There's a note at the bottom about requiring the removal or modification of the support brace for the M2. That's an immediate negatory ghost rider for me.

"... but we decided to add one more addition which was the 115-degree angle of the top section of the core. The unique shape, in addition to our included shrouding will create a sealed passage for the airflow without blocking flow to the radiator."

Agreed. Lazy engineering and product design.

I like their testing transparency and the angle does make sense. Hmm. Having to remove the bumper and crash bar when other options don't isn't very appealing though.

I've recently put in the Wagner FMIC EVO2, it's massive and is stepped and just fits in the OEM spot.

Just looking at the shape of that cooler, there's no way that stepped part would fit with the OEM position, those braces would have to be modified. I don't see the point of going for this FMIC over others out there, especially since you would need to modify or remove existing support braces which seems like a bad idea for the structure.

If you guys are worried about the intercooler being right up against the radiator theres always ER race intercooler.

There is a gap between it and the rad.

I’ve had a Mishimoto rad in my Miata for ten years and countless track and autocross days. Great product.
